Often times, patients deny having had any head injuries, even though their symptoms or brain map indicate they did. Thankfully my "Head Injury Checklist" helps show all the various times a head injury may have occurred. Brain injury is a serious issue with many future health complications. Many non-invasive treaments can help reduce future issues, and knowing if and how many injuries you or your child may have sustained is a key first step. See what you find out by filling out the checklist today!
Closed head TBI occurs when the brain undergoes rapid acceleration-deceleration forces, which may involve blunt head impacts. However, rapid acceleration or deceleration of the head can occur without impact.*
As many as 65% of moderate to severe TBI patients report long-term problems with cognitive functioning. Cognitive deficits cause disability when they interfere with a patient's ability to perform their usual roles at work or at home.*
Cognitive recovery after moderate to severe TBI has a steep trajectory in the first year followed by more gradual improvements during later years. Impairments are more likely to persist in patients with severe injuries; although some patients may exhibit neuropsychological recovery up to 5 years post injury.*
